Anyone have any clue if a brake drum will even hold up to 2500-3000g's?

I know they can handle quite a bit of torsional force and a great amount of torque in shear, but I duno if the thing is just gonna blow apart spinning at 3450 RPM, and I'd rather not be a personal testament via injury to what happens if it does..

Guess the first thing will be to find out what speed they're balanced at.
